Privacy policy

Glaze: Block Puzzle for iPhone · Effective 26 September 2026

In short

You never create an account, and we never ask for your name, email or contacts.
Your game progress and settings stay on your device.
We use Google services to understand crashes and how the game is played, and to show ads that keep Glaze free.
Ads are personalised only if you allow it. You can change your choice at any time in Settings → Ad privacy choices.
We do not sell your personal information.

Who we are

Glaze is made by ClarionStack, an independent studio based in Singapore ("we", "us"). For any privacy question or request, email support@clarionstack.com.

What stays on your device

Scores, streaks, levels, unlocked themes, hint balance, saved games and settings are stored only on your iPhone. We cannot see them. Deleting the app deletes them. They are not synced between devices.

What is collected, and why

Glaze uses the following services. Each collects data only for the purposes listed.

Google Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics

These help us fix crashes and improve the game. They receive gameplay events (for example "game ended", "hint used", "daily challenge completed"), a random app-instance identifier, approximate (coarse) location derived from your IP address, device and app details, performance data, crash reports and in-app purchase events. Events contain no free text, name, email, payment details or precise location. We keep Analytics data for up to 14 months.

Google AdMob and Google User Messaging Platform

Glaze shows ads only at natural breaks (after a game), never during play, and never during the first games or the tutorial. Rewarded ads are always optional. AdMob receives device identifiers, advertising and interaction data, coarse location and diagnostics in order to show, measure and cap ads, and to prevent fraud.

If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, Glaze asks for your consent through Google's consent form before personalised ads are used.
On iOS, the Advertising Identifier (IDFA) is used only if you allow tracking in Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you decline, ads are non-personalised; you can play every game either way.
Buying Remove Ads turns off interstitial ads. Optional rewarded ads stay available if you choose to watch them.

Apple Game Center (optional)

If you sign in to Game Center, your scores and achievement progress are sent to Apple under your Game Center player profile to power leaderboards and achievements. We do not copy your Game Center ID into analytics.

In-app purchases

Purchases are handled entirely by Apple. We never see your payment details; the app only learns which products you own so it can unlock them, and records purchase events in Analytics.

Reminders (optional)

If you turn on daily reminders, they are scheduled on your device. No push service or server is involved, and you can turn them off at any time in Settings.

Your choices and rights

Ad personalisation: Glaze → Settings → Ad privacy choices, or iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
Game Center: sign out in iPhone Settings → Game Center.
Reminders: Glaze → Settings, or iPhone Settings → Notifications → Glaze.
Access or deletion: email us. Because we never ask who you are, please include the approximate date you installed Glaze; we will delete any analytics data we can associate with your request. Deleting the app removes everything stored on your device.

Depending on where you live (for example under Singapore's PDPA, the EU/UK GDPR or California's CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your data, and to complain to your local data protection authority. We respond within 30 days.

Children

Glaze is suitable for all ages but is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us and we will delete it.

International transfers and security

Google and Apple may process data in countries other than yours, under their own safeguards. Data is sent over encrypted connections, and we limit what is collected to what the game needs.

Third-party policies

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the effective date above, and for significant changes, note it in the app's release notes.
